MORRISTOWN — A Madison woman accused of embezzling $11,404 from the borough’s fire department was admitted today into the Pretrial Intervention program, a form of probation that requires no admission of guilt.

Susan Russo, 48, has repaid the money, Judge Mary Gibbons Whipple, sitting in Morristown, said as she approved the arrangement. Russo is the wife of a volunteer Madison firefighter.

In May, Russo was charged with theft following an investigation of how money was handled to pay for hotel rooms for Madison department members attending the annual firefighters’ convention in Wildwood.

Russo was in charge of booking the rooms from 2007 to 2012 and allegedly collected the full amount, but was only responsible for paying the balance because the deposit was made by another member, police said. Over the five years, a total of $11,404 was due back to the members but not returned, according to police.

Under the terms of her PTI, Russo will be on probation for 18 months and must perform 30 hours of community service. The theft charge will be dismissed if she successfully completes the program.
